MAN !!!! definitely you have to wait at least untill 2000km
especially with turbo diesel car !!!!!! otherwise your turbo will be gone in 15k km.
And also it is not that you wait 2000km and then kick down. It is better to go step by step, slowly increasing your speeds next month.
The car will have its best performance after 5000km at least. Sometimes even with 10000km I realize the car is at it best.
So definitely take it easy for couple of next week !!!! And then start driving faster and faster

If its your own car I should run it in.
If its a lease/company car I would do some drag starts and go sideways round the bends 
They'll never know.

Btt: I always followed the break in instructions and would do so the next time. Still seems to be the right way and I don't care about "Machines are produced with so little tolerances today... "

I think I meant 3,500rpm
It was whatever it said in the manual

Maybe if you push it to the max from 0 km...the turbos will brake at 3km.
There is no way the turbos will be gone at 35k...not even close...unless maybe u track your car daily... but even so IF TURBOS will be gone on an average at 35k then there literally would be no more diesel sale. The turbos are very expensive, maybe amongst the most expensive parts in a diesel car. Other things may crack, like the air debitmeter (dunno if it's the right term in english) or pressure dropping from the turbo. I got this on my 2000 passat 1.9 tdi and they replaced the air debitmeter (100 euros) and reset the turbo pressure electronicly. No turbo replacement. Rarely heard of people replacing their turbos.
What happens to very high performance turbos then? They come only in 500km crack period?
As far as i know the diesel is the most durable engine and the most economical, AND not the most perfromant. Although diesel technology evolved so much in the last 4-5 years that almost caught up the petrol...but not quite.
